At KHID, the goal is to help the Client create a space that reflects their lifestyle and needs. However, certain design aesthetics are present in our projects because of personal lifestyle choices and experiences.  Kandi Hernandez Interior Design emphasizes functionality, quality, and livability into each design or decorating project.  Creating warm and inviting living spaces that work for everyday life and encourage connection and restoration is a value at KHID.

The following outlines the general progression of the design process.

• Complimentary 15 minute Discovery Call
• In-Home Design Consultation
• Signing of Terms of Agreement and initial payment of design fees
• Site Verification: on-site measurements, photos, meet with other trades, contractors, & professionals about the project
• Development and execution of design
• Design presentation with Client
• Procurement & Initiation of construction or renovations
• Furniture installation and Client reveal
• Project Closure

Since E-Design projects are provided virtually, they follow a different process.  For more information on E-Design, click here.

Design services are based upon an hourly rate.  A proposal of estimated design fees will be determined after an In-Home Design Consultation.  Services such as In-Home Design Consultations, Designer on Call, & E-Design are provided at a fixed rate design fee.

In-home design consultations are scheduled for 2 hours.  At this appointment, the design project will be discussed in detail to better understand the total scope of work, time involved, and how KHID can best assist you.  Design consultations can also be booked for Clients desiring design/decorating advice but plan to implement the design project themselves.  During this type of consultation, we will discuss solutions to design concerns so you feel confident about making positive changes on your own.  Because time, expertise, ideas, and value is put into this consultation, these services are not offered free of charge.

Kandi Hernandez Interior Design offers procurement services for furnishings and select finishes.  A detailed specification document is given for all other materials used in your project.   Procurement services are charged at an hourly rate.
